NoName (Advanced API Security) Integration with IBM DataPower
Here in this blog, we are going to learn about NoName (Advanced API Security) Integration with IBM DataPower.
Introduction:
APIs play a crucial role in digital transformation, facilitating seamless connections between applications, platforms, and services. As businesses increasingly manage numerous APIs in both cloud and on-premises environments, it becomes essential to address the expanding attack surface and protect against potential security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, APIs are often misunderstood and overlooked by application security managers and developers. This is where NoName Advanced API Security comes into play, offering a comprehensive and proactive solution that safeguards APIs throughout the software development lifecycle.
Feautures:
1. Comprehensive OWASP API Vulnerability Protection:
NoName Advanced API Security provides robust protection against the top 10 OWASP API vulnerabilities, ensuring that APIs are shielded from common security risks.
2. Centralized API Inventory:
With NoName, it becomes effortless to obtain a comprehensive list of integrated APIs, along with their associated HTTP methods, consolidated in one centralized location. This simplifies management and monitoring processes
3. Sensitive Data Access Monitoring:
NoName facilitates the identification of APIs that have access to sensitive information such as credit card data, phone numbers, and social security numbers (SSNs). This feature enables organizations to closely monitor and secure data access, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations
4. Data Classification and Context-Aware Analysis:
API inventory can be accurate and comprehensive thanks to NoName’s assistance with data classification and context-aware analysis. This feature ensures that all APIs are effectively managed and secured, enhancing overall security posture
5. Real-Time API Attack Prevention:
NoName provides proactive measures to prevent real-time API attacks. By leveraging intelligent threat detection mechanisms, it can identify and block malicious activities, safeguarding APIs and the underlying infrastructure
6. API Metrics and Change Tracking:
NoName simplifies API metric tracking, allowing organizations to monitor performance and identify any deviations. Additionally, it facilitates change tracking, making it easier to identify modifications made to existing APIs for better visibility and control
7. Enhanced Authentication with Authorization Tokens:
NoName offers an additional layer of authentication through Authorization tokens. Unauthorized API requests trigger an unauthenticated error, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that only authenticated requests are processed
8. Flexible Security Policies:
NoName enables the implementation of additional data policies to meet specific security requirements. These policies provide customizable security controls, ensuring that APIs adhere to the organization’s security standards
9. IP-Based Access Control:
NoName allows fine-grained control over API access by permitting or denying requests from specific IP addresses. This feature enables organizations to enforce access restrictions and enhance overall security
By integrating NoName Advanced API Security with IBM DataPower, organizations can strengthen their API security posture, mitigate vulnerabilities, and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of their data.
